A-ha-ha. Surely you are kidding.

I miss gypsy3 and gyspy5.

I think 'bklyn' would do well on MTV.

I would love to see Little Women the movie. But...do you really think it'd work? There are some shows where you take away the set and the stage and the magic sorta goes away. Like...could you ever see les mis the movie? that would be horrible! because it's so great as a musical.

I'd give them an American cheese single for it. And not Kraft, either. Store-brand.

As long as they film Follies and not make a movie version of Ted Chapin's making-of book, as the rumor went several months ago.

Bedazzled

Bedazzled seems sort of inevitable to me. I can't believe nobody's done it. I'm sure Faust is in the public domain :P

I would agree except that the remake had some terrifically topical moments that would feel much fresher. The only reason I could honestly see in setting it in the 60's is for the sake of parody and nostalgia, two things I'm a bit sick of in the musical. Otherwise why set it in the 60's except for the fact that the original movie is superior? You're not going to see the original movie, you're seeing a musical adaptation. Do your own thing.

Err how about someone who can sing? I say Vanessa Williams again.

I just don't think it's a filmable property though. The songs are so talky...

Idina in the rose would enable me to die happy

Id love there to be a remake of Millie with music from the musical although i doubt it will ever happen.

I'd like to see Sunday in the Park with George, they can use that rotoscoping for 'It's Hot Up Here' so the painting is actually singing the song. But, as I've said before on threads like this, I wish TV would make more musicals as well. There are some that are risky to do for the big screen, I'm trying to be realistic about this. I, for one, would love to see all musicals on the big screen, but unfortunately, 'mainstream' America (teenage boys, lets face it, that's who they make most movies for) isn't going to go for a lot of the musicals. So TV should pick up the slack. The recent musicals done for TV have done very well in the ratings, so let's see some more. And as I've also said before, HBO or Showtime should give it a try. And now that MTV is airing Legally Blonde, maybe Logo, MTV's sister channel, could do productions of Falsettos or Zanna Don't.
